Scarlett Johansson - A Successful Young Actress

Scarlett Johansson - A Successful Young Actress

Scarlett I. Johansson, born on November 22, 1984, is an actress and singer, of dual American and Danish citizenship.


A thoroughly urban young woman, Scarlett Johansson knew she wanted to be an actress at age 3, and she made that wish a reality only five years later.


Johansson grew up in a household with "little money" with a mother who was a "film buff". Johansson began her theater training by attending and graduating from Professional Children's School in Manhattan in 2002. She attended P.S. 41 in Greenwich Village for elementary school.


After an off-Broadway debut and several film roles, Scarlett went on to win a Hollywood Reporter YoungStar Award for her work in The Horse Whisperer.


More recently, the ever-confident and uniquely gifted Scarlett Johansson has been named Breakthrough Actress at the 2003 Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Lost in Translation) at the 2004 BAFTA Awards. She was also nominated for two Best Actress Golden Globes for Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring.


In 2005 she appeared in Match Point, followed by The Prestige in 2006. In 2007 she won more recognition with her role in The Nanny Diaries, while 2008 was another promising year for the starlet (read: Scarlett) with parts in the movies The Other Boleyn Girl, He's Just Not That Into You and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.


In the summer of 2007, Johansson spent about a month in Maurice, Louisiana recording an album at Dockside Studio, a rural 12 acre complex. The album consists of one original song and ten cover versions of Tom Waits songs. It was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and features David Bowie, members from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Celebration. The record, entitled Anywhere I Lay My Head was released on May 20, 2008, through Atco/Rhino Records, amid a negative "critical consensus, stretching from comments on Gawker.com to the pages of The New York Times." Reviews of the album were mainly negative, mostly concentrating on her supposedly sub-par vocal abilities and the perceived failure to add a new dimension to the well-established classics she chose to cover, but some critics found it to be surprisingly alluring, brave in its eccentric selection, and even brilliant.


In 2007, she appeared as the leading lady in Justin Timberlake's music video for "What Goes Around.../...Comes Around," nominated in August 2007 for video of the year at the MTV Video Music Awards.
